It's time to delete Metabook, Twitter and TikTok (and Reddit). Fuck it, social media is cancer - a thread.

This. It’s also pretty much the only way expat communities come together for different events and meetings. Without it, I don’t have much of a social life outside of social media.

Also this.

I’m actually doing the same to people who share exclusively political shit in general regardless of alignment. It’s massively cut down on the number of posts in my feed.

Get my politics from here, not Facebook.

Bots are a hell of a drug.

Ah facebook, where a guy I went to young life with resurfaces 20 years later as a police officer who wants to smugly explain to the guy who sat next to me in english class senior year of high school why well actually black people do deserve to be executed

He did have arms, I saw them. I think those are the limbs that still work.

Reading this stuff day in and day out is making me hope this weird arm pain is some horrible bone cancer so I can check out without having to decide it. So many people suck so, so bad.

So. Off the back of this thread, I made a second attempt to delete all the news sources and semi-political pages that suck me in to argue with idiots.

However, now the AI is surfacing obscure political topics from other sources just so I can argue with morons. And I fall for it.

Turns out there are lots of rugby fans who are against trans women in sport and white supremacists who follow TED.

Sigh.

I feel you. My main sportsball passion is hockey, and you will be shocked to find out that a sport that is like 99% white folks and beloved by rural Canadians has a fan base that is just packed with deplorables.

This is why I don’t delete Facebook. It’s important to know which of your family/friends are off the deep end. This dude lives in rural PA, so of course he terrified of violence in Portland.

Seems fine

only if it adversely effects them eh

Lol Apple giving in to facebook’s ploy to protect their ability to secretly track everyone.

I cancelled my FB account on Thursday morning. I was a bit dope sick on Thursday but have already received the benefit of happier mood and more productivity. Take that Zuck!, I’m going to Insta . . . Oh wait.

After nearly 5 1/2 years, today is my last day at Facebook
